While the eCars - Now! project aims to grow a truly global community with global action, some things work best with local orientation. Internet is wonderful, but we still want to meet other people face-to-face. When it comes to converting cars, there has to be a local garage for the enthusiast to really get a grip what's in it. A conversion project needs to happen in some place.

Also, the project plans for mass conversions with people ordering the components beforehand. Now who would spend 20 000 euros or dollars for a car-to-be, without a possibility to test drive it first? So local eCorolla prototypes are needed in the first phase. The same is true with the informing of the project and the EV conversion questionnaire; they work the best with the local language.
